Introduction
The course is organized in both full time and part time form. A doctoral course can be undertaken by a University graduate with Masters Degree in physics or a related subject. The entrance examination will show specialized knowledge, the ability of the applicant for independent scientific research and verify the applicant’s competence in the English language. During the examination, the applicant must show knowledge of the basic course in physics, theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics, special theory of relativity and quantum physics, as well as fundamentals of mathematical analysis and algebra. In the scope of the entrance examination, the applicant will also show basic knowledge in the field of theoretical physics a part of which is the topic of his/her PhD thesis. The topic of the thesis will come under one of three fields of theoretical physics:
- relativistic physics and astrophysics
- theoretical nuclear and sub-nuclear physics
- quantum theory of multi-particle systems
Other topics, such as topics dealing with astrophysical applications of nuclear and sub-nuclear physics or quantum theory of multi-particle (molecules) systems, will be considered.
The standard duration of the course is four years. Doctoral students undertaking the part-time course are assumed to take up to six years. Internal doctoral students will be granted scholarships based on current regulations.
